Scared of dieing??

**Mental Trousers** · 9th March 2006, 12:59

Don't know about others, but personally I'm not scared of dieing. If I was I wouldn't ride a bike. The main thing that worries me is a major injury accident. I'd rather be dead than maimed for life. Although I'm not scared of it, I'm definitely not in a hurry to get there either.

What about others??

Yep. I echo your comments.

As a practical matter, it pays not to be scared of it...fear for survival doesn't allow you to ride properly...at least that's what Keith Code says, and I agree.

I thought the title was "Scared of dieting". And I aint scared of that either
Edit - what ahappened to the option "No. But don't want to either"?

It's the fear of pain, both physical and financial, that puts me off going too hard on the road. And even on the track I only up it another tenth. No fear of dying. Big fear of pain.

I toyed with the idea of sticking a picture of my daughter over the rev counter to slow me down, but then decided I'd never ride a bike if I did that!!

This is a very deep question,, mmmmmmmmmmm yes i would say that im not scarded of dyeing as such, BUt missing all future events dosnt make dying sound like a good prospect. , Leaving wife and kids would suck,

Whilst the possibility of death and horrific accidents exist, I do not focus my thoughts on such when I'm riding, regardless of whether i fear death or not (i don't for the record). I'm far more of a positive thinker when i'm in the saddle...

I fear not that which I know will never come to pass.

**Badcat** · 9th March 2006, 13:21

i have a beautiful wife and two brilliant kids.
i'm scared of leaving them on their own.

The only fear I have of dying is the effect it would have on those I leave behind. I'm very lucky to have some incredibly special people in my life, family and friends. The thought of not being here to see my daughter and my to-be-born daughter(?) concerns me. However you never know when your time is up so I don't concentrate on it.

Im scared of dying lying on my back in bed trying to stay safe from everything. I would rather go with my front wheel hoisted high and a grin on my face. Im like OAB said, afraid of the effects of my passing rather than death.
